| Abstract | Russia's war on Ukraine has not only devastated millions of human lives, it has been catastrophic for the environment. Forests and fields have been burned to the ground, animal and plant species pushed to the brink of extinction, soil and water contaminated with oil products, debris, and mines. On a single day in June 2023, the breached Kakhovka Dam flooded thousands of kilometres of protected natural habitat, as well as villages, towns, and agricultural land. The destruction of biodiversity and ecosystems across Ukraine has been immeasurable and its consequences stretch beyond national borders. In this poignant book, Darya Tsymbalyuk offers an intimate portrait of her beloved homeland against the backdrop of Russia's war and ecocide. In elegant and moving prose, she describes the damage done to the country's rivers, grasslands, animals, insects, and birds as a result of Russia's ground and air operations. Alongside the everyday experiences of Ukrainians living with the environmental consequences of the war, we share Tsymbalyuk's own reckoning with the changing nature of cherished places and the loss of familiar worlds--back cover. |
